Title: Air conditioner cuts off and comes back on.
Post by: Jshelburn74@gmail.com on June 21, 2019, 06:06:07 pm
2910 D 2019 front air conditioner cuts out and then comes back on?  Any ideas?
Just thankful it comes back on but must be hard on it.

Is the fan cutting out or just the compressor?

Does you 110v power remain on. If you have a power management system your voltage could drop too low and when A/C goes off, power resets and A/C turns back on.

Presuming it's a Domestic Penguin, like on my 2015 model 2551.....that's perfectly normal.

On Auto fan, if there more than 5 degrees difference between room temp and thermostat setting, it will start in high speed fan, as the temp in the room lowers, it then switch the fan off and restart the fan at low speed.   In addition, if the evaporator coils get too cold, to prevent icing, the compressor will shut off while the fan stays on in order to warm the coils and prevent icing.  This is especially true when there is high humidity outside.

Don nailed it and it’s miserable having it restart and rattle up all night.  I’ve been talking to people at campgrounds across the lower half. Noise from ac is one of the biggest complaints. The big units not so much with ducted systems and those with basement ac units not at all but I guess they have their own set of issues.
